As the perfect comic foil to Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cheryl Hines is one of the most recognizable faces on television. So beloved is the show that she gets approached by fans wherever she goes – even in some of the most remote locations in the world like Bhutan, which she was visiting with her husband Robert F Kennedy Jr.
“We were at the top of a tall building and nobody was really speaking English,” she recalls in this exclusive interview with HELLO!
“And this guy came up and said: ‘Cheryl! I love Curb, can we get a picture?’ It really felt like I was in a different world, and this person came out of nowhere.”
Cheryl was speaking to HELLO! from Berlin, where she had just been presented with the 2025 World Hospitality Award at The World Hospitality Symposium, established by leading booking platform HotelPlanner in celebration of the finest leaders in global travel, tourism and hospitality.
“I was ecstatic to be given the honor,” she tells us.
“It was for acknowledging the hospitality industry and the appreciation I have for it. I do a lot of travelling and it really makes a difference when you go somewhere and your destination has created an experience for you.”
The year ahead promises lots more adventures for the star, who will be moving between Los Angeles and Washington DC after her husband – the son of assassinated US Senator Robert F Kennedy and the nephew of late President John F Kennedy Jr – was appointed Health and Human Services Secretary in President Trump’s cabinet.
“I will be there [Washington DC] a lot with him, and we’ll still have our house in Los Angeles, so I will be splitting time between the two. It’s a different world and I’m meeting really fascinating, inspiring people. It’s an exciting time.”
And wherever she is, Cheryl will continue to prioritize wellness.
“It seems to be easier to connect to your emotional wellbeing when you’re living a healthy lifestyle,” she says.
“When you’re getting up in the morning and you’re moving your body, it helps to keep the mind, body and soul going in the right direction. I eat a lot of fresh fruit and try to stay away from processed foods. I still will have some ice cream or a potato chip if I feel like it, but usually I try to offset it by eating something healthy.”
